By trash, I mean the trash container! If you have room, tuck yours away under a desk or in the closet. If your space is tight, slip it behind a chair. You'll know where it is, and your company won't have to see it when they come through the door!



Hearty salads, dips, and cold soups! What a treat for one day a week! How about an egg-salad sandwich? Or a tomato club? Slice tomatoes, pair with luncheon meat, bacon, and lettuce, and enjoy! What a treat! Or try a pita sandwich stuffed with chicken salad. Let your ideas run wild!


With high gas prices, a summer trip close to home is appealing. Places like Oklahoma City can become treasure troves of excitement. With 400 miles of Route 66 in Oklahoma, inside the city are a 25-acre water park, an aquarium, and the city zoo and botanical gardens. Museums include the American Banjo Museum and the 1889er Museum. Check with cities near you. You might be suprised what you've yet to discover!


It's as simple as having separate laundry bags for colored, white, and black items. Then on wash day, dump that bag into the washer, add soap, and walk away! Never easier!


When time is short (when isn't it), outsource the main dish in your dinner plans. Pick up a rotissirie chicken or a foot-long sandwich, add a simple side dish, and you have "homestyle" without all the work. You'll appreciate the chance for a break in your food preparation schedule.
